Eric loved his family. He loved music, and was very knowledgeable about it. He taught himself to play guitar, and played in bands. In his memory, plant some flowers, plant a tree, write or sing a song, light a candle. He will see and hear you, and smile.

“My candle burns at both ends;
It will not last the night;
But, ah, my foes, and oh, my friends --
It gives a lovely light.”
